Originally posted by mossrose View PostI used to work in a bank, and it makes me crazy to get handed cash, from anybody, but especially from the bank, that the bills are all cocky-wompus!
That was not allowed back then! All the bills in my wallet to this day are in order from smallest to largest and all facing the same direction.
Another thing that bugs me immensely is when a clerk just hands you a wad of cash, including coins, instead of counting the change out into your hand. Then you either have to stand there and count it, while the customers behind you get impatient, or walk away with it and then if it's wrong you've got to prove that you didn't mess with it after you walked away.
Or shove it in your wallet and not bother.

Do you ever have a cashier try to give you change ... on top of the bills? I like to amuse myself by just dumping the change back onto the counter and watch as they scramble to pick it up.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostWhen I was a kid, all the buzz was about "converting to the metric system". Supposedly, this was imminent, and would require me to totally change my thinking before high school. Having worked in construction, using both systems, I wish we had made the conversion way back then! Metric math is so much easier.

I don't use cash much at all any more except for vending machines and even those are starting to take debit cards.
